On official PE5 (which I had sideloaded a couple of months ago).
I understand that there are a couple newer updates (OTA) which I'm not getting. Will I need to sideload PE6 (or downgrade first to go to PE6 then BG1) via Odin?
PE5 was never an official release so you won't get any OTAs unless you get to an official release. Odin to pb2 and ota all the way up, or I think there's now an Odin for pe6. The you can get the security patch from a few days ago

Exactly @jack man 's steps. I was on pe5 yesterday, odin'd to pe6, and then OTA's to BPG1, worked like a charm.

Today I received the new update message, last time it tried to install it itself after 3 times postponed. But for for reason it failed. Is it because the phone is rooted ?
What if AT&T release the Jelly bean update in the future and I want to install it. How do I fix the update error message? Do I need to un-root the phone first ?

+1. I also have stock LEM firmware and I am rooted(everything is stock though). When I try to update to LG1 via OTA, it downloads the update and reboots in CWM and fails to update. When I plugin via Kies to update, it times out.
Is there any way to update to LG1 when you are rooted?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it should work if you have the stock recovery - which in your case you don't but not necessarily in the OP's case. Unless the OP wasn't perfectly clear.
Maybe you need to go back to stock first?

Is there any way I can remove CWM and go back to stock recovery? I rooted my phone using this easy guide http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
I am not worry about the minor update from AT&T, we all expect to get Jell Bean soon. Just want to make sure we can download the update and install it properly without any errors. So should we go stock? What will be the steps? Download the stock firmware and use Odin flash it back?
I wouldn't worry about the official update. Usually in a day or two of official release, there will be an official firmware in package in the development section.
Did you mean we can just download the custom jelly bean firmware and install it as custom rom instead of the official one from AT&T? I think that make sense.

When its released, yes. That's one reason there are threads just for stock firmware.
I'm currently on a Sprint GN2, v4.1.2, with Baseband L900VPAMA7 and Build JZO54K.L900VPAMA7. Shortly after getting the phone a year ago, I rooted via the Odin method and left the ROM as stock. I have not changed or updated it since. When I have tried to update it with the earlier OTA update from earlier this year, I couldn't due to (I believe) the fact that I have the TWRP recovery and not stock.
With 4.3 hitting, I really would like to get it updated properly. I have been scouring several sites, including XDA, but haven't been able to really answer my questions, which are:
1. Do I need to worry about the earlier OTA update if I get the 4.3 update?
2. Was the earlier OTA update, the update that would have gotten me to a MC2 baseband?
3. Lots of folks talking about Knox files and removing them. Why?
4. For either update, it seems that I have to switch back to the stock recovery, is this correct? But do I need to actually do anything with the ROM itself?
5. And finally, if I have to change back to the stock recovery, how? So many of the how to vids/threads talk about doing both rom and recovery.
Thanks in advance. Oh, and I have found and tried to read through several links on these questions such as:

Would like to know about it too, can find a way to update to MK4
I just picked up an AT&T S3 (SGH-i747) from best buy and it updated OTA to JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB. OTA won't update it further, I was under the impression we had a 4.4 update in NE4. I'm afraid to flash it over Odin, I don't want any issues. I did download Kies and it also said I was on the latest update. Even if I wanted to I can't find it on Sammobile.
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Build: JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
Any thoughts on how to update to 4.4? Also it seems like there is no root for 4.4? Not that I care, I've kind of given up on root but just out of curiosity.
Edit: This is why I'm confused, ATT is saying they released a 4.4.2 update in Nov 2014 to NE4.

You may have to wait a few hours between updates.
You can root KK by installing a custom recovery and flashing supersu.

Thank you. I changed the date to 24 hours later and it's downloading an update, although it doesn't say which one.

You may need to do this one more time, or wait an additional 24 hours. The repeat of this step would be to get you from NE4 to NJ1.
I was rooted on OB7 with chainfire and the stock recovery image or whatever, it's been several years, well I used superSU and unrooted the phone and it still wouldn't let me do OTA. So tonight I downloaded the OF5 Rom and updated through Odin, Now it's telling me my device status is official and it's currently downloading the next update... The issue I am wondering about now is... Since it will OTA, I want to put UN7 on my phone and I don't want to update past PJ1, will it let me stop the updates?

You got some OTA updates to go to get to PJ1 but there's a better way. You could get the PJ1 stock tar from the stock tar thread in general forum and upgrade through Odin again.
OTA is sequential patch updates. Stock tar is full updates. I'd recommend factory reset before flashing the marshmallow update to save time on initial boot optimization.
To answer your question about stopping the updates, turn off auto update feature in Settings when you get to PJ1. Follow the ROM OP to install once you get to PJ1- however you choose.
Note: Since your bootloader is now updated beyond OB7, keep in mind you cannot use Odin to flash full tars OB7 or lower. You cannot downgrade the bootloader but it's still possible to run older ROMs. I only recommend full stock tars no older than OG5.

So, now I am on PJ1 and I don't know how to put TWRP on my phone, I want to put tx_dbs_tx's UN7 hybrid on my phone and I am having issues both finding and putting TWRP on my phone... and I can't find a download or anything for it...
I've downloaded 2 different versions of twrp and used odin to put them on but I think I am doing something wrong because it isn't booting into twrp

and of course I was missing a step... nobody said uncheck auto reboot and it kept keeping the bootloader locked
got it done now and I managed to get the custom rom installed... or at least I think it's working

Oh your talking about installing twrp? Yeah you have to not let it reboot. And when is done pull battery and boot into recovery to get it to stick. Obviously you figured it out. But just saying. I think earlier versions you didn't need to do that but now you do.
Glad you got it going. How you like the Rom? Running smooth for me.
ROM is good
Well I obviously got it going and didn't read the first couple posts after the install and didn't notice the SMS issue so I had that problem and I can't find a lot of the menu options that I had with the OB7 original I've been running for about 18 months... It's pretty smooth now and I'm wondering how fast it will fill up my internal memory I like that it's almost 20 gigs free.. for a while I was running on less than 6 I need to find an efficient way to use my external SD card... Other than that the options are neat but it seems really bloated all the extra Google apps make me sick even though I never use them... I've got titanium backup and am freezing them and will probably uninstall them soon... I want a small ROM that I can customize myself or apps that are easily removed or whatever half the apps I don't want are in ROM which is a pain to remove or I just don't know how to unless I use TB
Wow that's a novel sorry but yeah that's my ramblings for the next week I guess... Now I'm gonna hit the rack...
Oops, I mean OTA.
Anyone have a zip file to use with FlashFire to get the latest firmware installed. Currently on the next to last update, but think that is causing me issues getting 7.1 roms installed successfully. Am on stock, of rooted of course, with S-Off, and TWRP. Trying to just update firmware without losing anything.
Trying doing 'check for updates' but it just hangs at 'checking'
